Thank you!

NOT_MAPPED.xls - this is an Excel
spreadsheet that contains the data records
that could not be mapped. Either the facility
provided no longitude or latitude data at all
or what was submitted was not in a form
understandable to the GIS mapping program.
fields.txt - this is a list of the EPA provided
data field names and the names that we used when
converting the data files to GIS shapefiles.
A good resource for free map layers such as local streets,
county boundaries, streams, census tracts and much more is:

Note: Be sure to print out the instructions on the download
page right before or after (or while) you download your files
as the url for this page may change.
We have a long list of shapefiles that we are creating. You can always
find the updated list of these at:
